Bug

## Description In Processing 4.1.1 it is currently seemingly impossible to down…load and switch between modes. ## Expected Behavior In Processing 3.5.4 if you open the "Modes" tab in the "Contribution Manager" window, there is a list of modes you can potentially install. At the very least you should find "R Mode" and "Python Mode". You can download any of these (the ones that are supported anyways) and than can use them in Processing. ## Current Behavior In Processing 4.1.1 (and 4.1 and possibly earlier versions I haven't tested) when you click "Manage Modes..." you are taken to an empty "Modes" tab in the "Contribution Manager" window. There are no modes ready to download, therefore you are stuck in Java mode. ## Steps to Reproduce 1. Run Processing 4.1.* 2. Click on the selector with the word "Java" and a little downward triangle in it 3. Click on "Manage Modes..." ## Your Environment * Processing version: 4.1.1 * Operating System and OS version: Windows 11 Pro x64 22H2 Build: 22621.900 ## Possible Causes / Solutions Not sure about the cause but I found a workaround (though haven't tested fully). I downloaded Processing 3.5.4 and installed Python mode on it. I than opened Processing 4.1.1 and I found that it also had Python mode installed. The Modes tab was still empty, but apparently the mode for 3.5.4 was saved in the same place 4.1.1 was looking, and it at least thinks it can be used. I'm not sure how well it works.

Processing 4.1.2 is now available:
